Gold HTC One arrives at UK retailer SIM-free

Bag a champagne gold HTC One without a monthly contract

We were pleasantly surprised by the gold HTC One when we got our hands on the device recently. But until now UK buyers have been limited to picking up the golden phone through Carphone Warehouse and Phones4u, both of which have been limiting sales of the device to on-contract customers. Today UK retailer Expansys sends word that it's begun stocking the gold HTC One, which it's selling SIM-free for £479.99 a pop. That's not cheap, especially with a new flagship phone from HTC expected in the next month or so — but if you absolutely must have the HTC One in this exclusive color then it's probably your best bet.
